The primary target organ of the pineal gland is the brain, particularly areas involved in regulating circadian rhythms, such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The gland secretes melatonin, which influences sleep-wake cycles and seasonal reproductive functions. Additionally, melatonin can have effects on various other organs and systems throughout the body, including the immune system and reproductive organs, though its primary action is on the brain's regulation of sleep.
